Abstract
Abstract Hammill, M. O., and Stenson, G. B. 2010. Comment on “Towards a precautionary approach to managing Canada's commercial harp seal hunt” by Leaper et al. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 67: 321–322. The Objective-Based Fisheries Management used by Canada to manage the Northwest Atlantic seal hunt conforms to United Nations and Canadian Government precautionary approach frameworks in its structure and industry involvement. Managers and industry use clearly identified thresholds and harvest control rules to adjust quotas to respect the management framework. Although simulation testing is needed to evaluate management model performance under additional sources of uncertainty, this approach has successfully maintained the harp seal population at or near the highest level ever seen, during a period of intensive hunting.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
